LEGO Rock Band: Iggy Pop Stars In-game

The awesome and slightly scary Iggy Pop scores an unlikely role in Warner and Harmonix's new collaboration.

James Newell Osterberg, Jr. (aka Iggy Pop) is apparently the latest rock star to have been given a LEGO makeover and will as such be appearing in Harmonix and Warner's upcoming LEGO Rock band collaboration. Known for his signature gruff vocals and ripped (albeit ancient) abs, Iggy Pop is sometimes referred to as the Godfather of Punk.

This surely makes him a rather unlikely candidate for a game that's being touted as a more family-friendly accessible musical affair, but we're not complaining. Check out a selection of awesome new in-game shots featuring Iggy as he struts his stuff below.

The Igster prepares to scare little kids and rock out -- all at the same time.

NME has some choice words to say about Iggy's LEGO persona, but we think he'll rock pretty hard.

Bryn says: "Lust for Life" and "The Passenger" are some of my personal faves, and while it's kinda hard to wrap my head around someone of Iggy's controversial nature appearing in a kid-friendly game, it's totally cool at the same time. Who's up next? Frank Zappa? Pete Murphy? Oh my!
